Life got in my way


Leech protection!

After five months I' ve seen a lot of this beautiful country, but still there was undiscovered beauty quite close to Morawaka.


Keep an eye on Julie, they said

Only a 45 minutes drive from Morawaka to Deniyaya, more landinwards, and we arrived at a lovely guest house called Sinharaja Rest. A warm welcome and introduction to what we could expect of the hiking tour trough the Sinharaja rainforest, which is on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Site. 

The next day we left with Pali, our guide. With a very strong dedication to nature, he could tell us the name, the usage in ayurvedic medicin, the life span, the best conditions, ... of animals, plants, trees, soil, fruits, seeds, ... After 20 years of guiding experience in this beautiful atmosphere, he hadn't lost his passion and we were lucky we could enjoy this!

Termites, monkeys, worms, squirrels, millipedes, fishes, spiders, leeches, snails, butterflies, dragonflies, grasshoppers, ... It's all there!

Millipede!

Huuuge worm!

Fish therapy with Eva!

Natural swimming pool!

Listen to the nature

On Tuesday there was the schooltrip with the chidlren of the both plantation schools Banagalla and Morawaka. Five adults and 40 children got on the bus to the Martim museum, an airplane, a playground and the beach. Nice to see all those smiling faces!





Ice cream!

Happy smiles!


The happy end of a happy day!

Meanwhile there have been elections, but until now, we don't know the results yet!

& Thanks to the daylight saving time, now there is only 3,5h difference between Sri Lanka and Belgium!

Hospital life and thesis things :
the last working week in the hospital started and that seems to be good. The world is shouting to be discovered! The answer to that call, comes from Eva and me together. You probably read more about it in the next blog post.
Now all the data is collected, I'd still like to meet the VP (Visitting Physician) in Deniyaya. He probably can give me some answers about the health conditions in this area, which is very valuable for my thesis.
